Guess what? That sneak peek we showed you last month has gone live this week as our new alpha. Here are some of the major improvements you’ll experience after signing in.

Crisper layout. The interface has a new layout that better communicates how to work with the alpha. On the left, you build a “thought cloud” to express what you’re thinking about and put your ideas in context. On the right, you can choose to work with “assistants” that act upon your thoughts. Currently, Primal Fusion provides assistants that help with brainstorming, searching the Web, and creating websites to organize and share any content you’ve remembered.

More room to work with thoughts and content. The assistants now have a larger area for displaying the results of their work. The thought cloud also provides more space for working with thoughts and exploring information. Note you can resize these areas by dragging the handle that separates them.

Express your thoughts more directly. A new ability to add a thought lets you quickly get thoughts that are top-of-mind into your thought cloud. You no longer have to rely on Primal Fusion to find thoughts that you know belong in it.

Once again, we’d like to extend our thanks to our alpha testers, and especially to those who have taken the time to ask questions and provide feedback. We’d love to get your reaction to this update, so please let us know what you think of it. There’s much more to come, so stay tuned.

To use the new version of the alpha, sign in to Primal Fusion and build your thought network. If you don’t have a Primal Fusion account yet, now’s a great time to request one!
